as much as i'm skeptical about rotating stew into an already-gelling lineup, having both these guys back is absolutely fantastic timing. the falcons won't be a cakewalk, but it'll be a good game for them to warm back up and get into the game before jumping into the hardest stretch of our schedule. we'll need all the help we can get against SF, NE, and the saints.

Most times you can't just plug a player in at this point and expect them to contribute right away.  He has kept in shape and is healthy but may not be in football shape right now.  Even if he is active, don't expect him to play a bunch of plays right away.  He needs to be eased into action and then evaluated to see how he handles it.  Practicing on a Wednesday with little contact is very different than suiting up and playing on Sunday.  With Williams and Tolbert doing very well, we have the luxury of bringing Stewart along slowly.

easing in two guys like Dwan and Stewart at this point of the year isn't a bad thing... these are the types of guys who can make a major impact by bringing in fresh legs as the season wears on.  hopefully that could lead to us "peaking" at the right time and getting us into the playoffs... something DG's Giants were famous for doing

Yeah, I know having DWill, Stew, Tolbert and Barner is overkill, but I still feel a lot better knowing Stew is good to go should something happen to DWill (and the other way around, as well).

 

Let's enjoy them while we have them.

 

Barner will be in street clothes come sunday.

      Pass Rush

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      The year he had another edge rusher opposite him in Reddick, Reddick ended up having more sacks. Burns was good at rushing the passer here but he was taken out of plays far too often by a single TE or you'd never even known he was in the game at all.  The Rams offer was equivalent to prime Khalil Mack or a TJ Watt. Those guys single handedly took over games and stopped drives. I can't remember a game Burns ever did that. Do we wish we had the level of production hes giving right now? Of course. Do I think we'd have it here. No.  At the time, his production was on par with Reddick, not Parsons. Pay production and incentivise potential.

      Technically our guys are in the top 6 in sacks for rookies and Scourton is tied for the lead.

      That's why so many said he wasn't worth it here, there was only DB and it wasn't enough. If Burns is feasting then the other guys in NY are doing enough already, Burns is just collecting the stats. It's what he eas built for and is finally in his perfect space to succeed. Im not as in on the new guys yet. More is an understatement but the good news is that they are rookies.
